Foodie Friday in Season: Stone Fruit
By Olivia Rassow
Wondering which of your favorite’s for summer are considered stone fruits? These varieties, named for their hard, stone like pit in the center, include peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, and nectarines. They sweeten summer picnic baskets, star in the most yummy desserts, and taste so good that you may be surprised by all the benefits they offer. Although different types vary, all stone fruits are loaded with the antioxidants and fiber that keep your body full and functioning at its best. They’re also low in calories—the perfect summer snack!
Peaches are high in potassium which can lower blood pressure and aid arthritis symptoms. A large size peach also has 3 g. of fiber to keep you fuller longer.
Curried Chickpeas and Kale
There’s nothing like being left alone for the weekend to make someone who “loves to cook” lose all desire to operate a stove. My husband and daughter ran off to New Orleans this past weekend, and though you’d think I would seize the opportunity to cook dishes that I like that they don’t, the ugly reality is that my diet deteriorated into sandwiches and reheated leftovers. Cooking without someone to cook for just isn’t my thing; besides, with my clean-up crew away on vacation, I knew that anything I cooked I’d also have to clean up. But after a couple of days of sandwiches, I was ready for real food again, as long as I didn’t have to work too hard for it.

Heather Shannon: Bridging the Gap Between Nutrition and Mental Health
Traditional therapy is often associated with looking to the past to find an explanation for a behavior, emotion or thought process. The concept of coaching differs in that clients are encouraged to take action in the present and strive for a healthier future, as opposed to dwelling on the past.
Heather Shannon, a 2011 graduate of the Health Coach Training Program from Chicago, had a background in psychotherapy before enrolling. When she graduated, she opened her practice Health and Wellness Counseling Associates of Chicago. She works with people who, if they’re lucky enough to realize it now, are in desperate need of health coaching: over-worked, over-stressed young adults. Heather has realized the importance of prioritizing health and gaining a strong sense early on, taking action in the present to create a future with endless possibilities.
